Inverted in Star Wars: Anakin Skywalker is implied to be created by a Sith Lord in order to wipe out the Jedi. The Jedi discover him and believe he's the Chosen One who's supposed to destroy the Sith, but he ultimately chooses not to out of love and instead destroys the Jedi, then again because of love chooses to destroy the Sith.
The oddest prediction turns out to be the most accurate, that he would 'bring balance to the Force' by making both sides start over again. Boxer from Southland Tales , who for most of the film is suggested to be the Messiah , and tries twice to save the bystanders when he realizes the real one is about to kill him. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, was one of the countless children across the universe sired by Ego the Living Planet, in the hopes of creating a second Celestial for his Assimilation Plot.
Since all his half-siblings were killed by Ego once they failed to awaken their Celestial powers, Peter was the only one left thanks to Yondu spiriting him away, leading Ego to entice him to rule by his side.

However, once he learns that Ego was the one who killed his mother, Peter turns on his father wielding the very power that Ego hoped to harness. In Canon Press's Supergeddon , a parody of the Left Behind series, The Antichrist suffers amnesia after his mortal head wound and becomes an evangelist, with the Captain Ersatz version of the Tribulation Force trying to convert him back to Team Evil so the end of the world can proceed as planned. Yeah, it's that kind of book. He's less Anti-Antichrist and more just good old-fashioned ignorance of his destiny for most of the story, but when he awakens, rather than bringing about the Apocalypse, he decides he really prefers the world the way it is.
Instead of becoming evil incarnate, he became humanity incarnate — which throughout the whole book is pointed out as being far nobler than any angel can be, and far eviller than any demon. The book also hangs a lampshade on this trope, by pointing out that any child of Satan would be equally justified in being extremely good , as Satan was an angel to begin with. The analogy they used says expecting the biological son of Satan to be automatically evil just because Satan's a fallen angel is like expecting a mouse with its tail cut off to only be capable of birthing baby tailless mice.
In the end, the main angel characters conclude that this was actually All According to Plan on God's part; a ludicrous number of coincidences neither faction was responsible for had to take place for it to happen. Laura of the Betsy the Vampire Queen books who's also the title character's half-sister consciously chooses to "rebel" against her mother, Satan, by being the biggest do-gooder Pollyanna she can be. She also hates using her powers, even in a good cause, considering it "giving in". Ultimately subverted following Satan's death , when she took the throne as part of the circumstances surrounding the event and ended up being just like her mother.
Merlin Satanspawn of Simon Green's Nightside series was born of the devil to be The Antichrist , but he "refused the honor". Which isn't to say he's a nice guy by any definition, just that he's not his father's guy. Sam Linnfer from Catherine Webb's Waywalkers is literally Satan , shunned by gods, angels and humans alike for millennia. His divine power is immensely powerful and destructive but in the end he uses it to save the universe, almost at the cost of his own existence. And people still hate him. Magiere of The Saga of the Noble Dead is a dhampir, born of human and vampire with a little help from an Evil Sorcerer to be the general of an army of undead that would sweep the world of life in accordance with the designs of an Eldritch Abomination.
Mercifully, she just wants to be left alone and has no intention of pursuing her destiny, though various forces try to either rope her into it or destroy her to stop that from happening. In Son of Rosemary — a direct sequel to the Rosemary's Baby novel, hence unrelated to the film sequel above — Satan-sired baby Andy has grown up to run a global charitable foundation, and claims to be struggling to cancel out his evil side by doing good. Descendents of the cult from the first book seek to undermine his attempts to Screw Destiny and be a good man.
In the end, his mother wakes up in , to find that her child's conception and entire life were All Just a Dream. It's implied that Andy pushed the Reset Button on the world, re-writing history, once his full powers as the Antichrist manifested, so he wouldn't have to bring on the apocalypse. Jacen trained as a Jedi under his uncle, and he grew into a pacifist at the end of the Vong war. But he started walking a dark path after a five-year journey to learn more about the Force, and he eventually became a Sith. Jacen initially didn't like the idea of becoming a Sith, but he embraced his identity as the one to remake the galaxy more as time went on, even after all his family started leaving him.
He ultimately went back into Anti-Antichrist territory to rescue his girlfriend and their daughter from the Empire, but before he could, his sister, Jaina, killed him. Harry Potter is a subversion. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , it was initially suspected that Harry was the Heir of Slytherin due to an incident where he revealed that he could speak in Parseltongue when trying to stop a snake from attempting to attack a fellow student.
This caused even Harry to wonder if he is indeed related to Salazar Slytherin, and thus the Heir of Slytherin. Harry rejects the evil path that his heritage would be expected to bring. However, he is not the Heir. Dumbledore reveals that Harry was not actually a direct relative of Slytherin the real reason he could speak in Parseltongue was because the same event where Voldemort's attempt to murder Harry backfired also resulted in a part of himself being transferred to Harry, which included Parseltongue.
The actual Heir of Slytherin was Tom Riddle, who was a student of Hogwarts fifty years prior and, more importantly, the person who became Lord Voldemort.
In the final book, this turns out to be an apparent double subversion, as it turns out that Harry and Voldemort are each descended from one of the three Peverell brothers. Hints at this are laid out at least as far back as Half Blood Prince , which sees Marvolo Gaunt blatantly mention the "Peverell coat of arms", and indicate that it at one point belonged to Slytherin or to someone related to him.
Gaunt was very proud of his relation to Slytherin at the very least.
The Lovable Antichrist: Carol Drake Wheatley: theranchhands.com: Books
The Peverell coat of arms actually a symbol for The Deathly Hallows actually indicates that the Peverells did actually own said objects. While nobody knows if the brother who had gotten the Wand from Death had any children, we know that two of them did, and that each passed down their Hallows along the family bloodlines: The Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak of Death each wound up in the hands of direct descendants of these two brothers at least up until Marvolo's time, as he still possessed it.
Presumably after his death the ring ended up in the hands of his son Morfin. At that point, Voldemort got hold of his ancestor's heirloom without ever knowing what he actually had after murdering his uncle. The other wound up in Harry's hands and he ultimately gained mastery of all three.
This would have made him 'Master of Death' which sounds like it might be something akin to an anti-christ itself. And Harry rejects this as much as he rejected the idea of being the heir of Slytherin. Unlike Harry, Voldemort fully embraced the idea. However due to their very distant relationship, Harry actually could be considered to be an heir to Slytherin, though not necessarily the heir that would open the Chamber. Technically, he did do so, but he did it in order to rescue Ginny from Voldemort. Though Harry realizes his connection to the brother who originally owned his cloak, he never seems to put that together with his distant relation to Voldemort, since the Gaunts, and later Voldemort himself, are also descended from the Peverells.
Voldemort, who knew nothing of the legend of the Hallows, never even has the issue cross his mind. So on one hand, we have the anti-anti-christ Harry, Master of Death, who could have been a possible Heir of Slytherin due to his distant relation to the man , and on the other, the anti-christ Voldemort, who legitimately was and embraced being the Heir of Slytherin.
The fact that this ends up being revealed as a family feud, despite neither side knowing it, makes the situation that much stranger. The Chronicles of Narnia has Puzzle the donkey in the last book, who got duped into impersonating Aslan as part of a plot to manipulate the Narnians' faith. Since Aslan is literally the form Jesus takes in Narnia, this makes Puzzle effectively the Antichrist. But as mentioned before, Puzzle was duped; he was a pawn in the plan of Shift the ape the actual Antichrist figure in the book.
Darren from The Saga of Darren Shan , learned from Lady Evanna, that in the future either he'll become the Lord of Shadows, destroyer of the human world, or Lord of The Vampaneze will, depending on which one of them kills the other. After learning that Mr. Tiny was both of their fathers, and he was the one who set everything up simply For the Evulz , Darren gouged and let the dying Steve kill him , saving the future from Lord of the Shadows. But he goes on a journey and sees Nyra kill his best friend, he rejects the Pure Ones altogether and joins the Guardians by becoming their king.
Oh, and he changed his name to Coryn. This gets played with several times in Skulduggery Pleasant. At different points, both Valkyrie and Lord Vile are proclaimed by the Necromancers to be their messiahs, or Death Bringers, destined to end death forever. Neither of them show any interest in fulfilling this role for Valkyrie, the price was too high; for Vile, ending death was the absolute last thing he wanted to do which necessitated the Necromancers finding a third. In a darker example, there's also Darquesse , who is adopted by the Remnants as their own dark messiah due to several visions of her destroying the planet, only to discover that yes, destroying the planet means them as well.
In the Starlight and Shadows trilogy, the evil drow goddess Lolth chooses the priestess Liriel Baenre to be her champion, who will carry the dark magic of the drow to the surface world and allow them to subjugate all other races. Liriel, however, has no desire for conquest, simply seeking to explore strange foreign lands; and once she learns of her goddess's intentions, she begins struggling to break free of Lolth's influence. The Shanshu Prophecy says Angel will play a pivotal role in the end times, and be rewarded with humanity - but isn't explicit on which side he'll be fighting on.
At the start of Angel , the idea of Angel willingly cooperating with the Senior Partners seems unthinkable. By the end of Season Four, Angel has darkened enough and his circumstances have gotten hazy to the point where he does join them. According to the comics, the jury's still out on whether the Shanshu prophecy spells doom for mankind in general. Wesley's father, Roger Wyndam-Pryce or at least a close facsimile thereof warned that Angel is "more dangerous than you realize. It was touch and go there for a while, but he ultimately rebels against Jasmine.
The only problem is that doing so leaves the poor kid mired in nihilistic, homicidal despair. Eventually he embraces his nature as the "creature of Darkness". Ben Hawkins' father, Henry Scudder, was the previous creature of Darkness and a more straight example of this trope, fighting against his nature until the end.
Sam certainly didn't want to lead a demon army against humankind, but he was intended to, and defied that fate despite what most characters expected. Too bad he was part of an overarching plot where he had been infected with demon blood due to a deal before he was born, chosen aeons before to set the Devil free and to act as his physical vessel during the End of Days , and set up so that his efforts to prevent the Apocalypse using demon-blood -born powers actually caused the prelude to Apocalypse and released Lucifer from his Cage.
Acquiescing to being possessed by Lucifer just so he could gain control of his body long enough to throw both of them into the Cage , Sam managed to avert the Apocalypse and the final battle to defeat Lucifer that would raze the world. Another example is the child Jesse, who actually is the Antichrist. He's really an overall nice kid, if just slightly creepy.
Capabilities
Sure, he made urban myths come true , but he wasn't actually trying to do that, and he certainly didn't mean to kill anyone. He also turned Castiel into a little toy figurine, but that was only in self defense. He almost goes over to the demons, but does hear out the Winchesters' side of the story before doing so. He also voluntarily goes into hiding in order to protect his adopted parents.
Jack from season 13 is another variation, being the literal son of Lucifer and a human woman, thus making him a half-angel. Dean is totally convinced that he's destined to turn evil, while Sam is convinced that they can teach him to be good. When Jack and Lucifer do meet, Jack is initially open to hearing him out, but he rejects Lucifer for good when he's finally confronted with first-hand proof of his father's evil acts.
Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager counts as this, since her liberation by Janeway was actually a part of a larger plan by the collective to assimilate humanity.
By the time this plan is supposed to be put in effect, Seven no longer identifies with the Borg, and refuses to help. From Reaper , the presumed spawn of Satan is fairly depressed to learn that it's his apparent destiny to end the world. He takes comfort from the fact that he's not really all that good at anything, so he'll probably suck at that, too. Subverted in that Sam is not the only son of the Devil. Satan's been around a long time, and has a lot of kids.
And he's disappointed in each and every one of them. But oddly enough the Devil does seem to be proud of Sam most of the time, even when Sam stands up to him. Word of God says he's not the son of Satan. His father is a demon who made a deal with the Devil to become mostly human which is why he doesn't die: As a half-human, half-demon child, Sam can bring him down.
So the closeness is because Lucifer wants to keep an eye on him and make sure he becomes the Antichrist instead of the Devil's downfall. This ignores the fact that Sam has a little brother, but then he did get Cousin Chucked after 2 episodes. This is the premise of Point Pleasant. Christina is protected from daddy's evil by her mother, her foster family and a hot Catholic priest.
The main character in Todd and the Book of Pure Evil has been named as the Pure Evil One by agents of the titular Artifact of Doom and is seemingly destined to destroy the world with the book's power. As of the first season finale, however, he is refusing to fulfill his destiny , but it remains to be seen whether he can fight fate. As the Joker Undead, if he wins the Battle Fight at the center of the series by being the last unsealed Undead , The End of the World as We Know It will occur, even though he wants no such thing to happen.
It's only by Kazuma Kenzaki becoming a Joker Undead himself and thus making it so that there's a second Undead present, meaning the Battle Fight is in a stalemate in the TV series or sealing him in the Missing Ace movie that the world doesn't end. In another, older series, two youths were unfortunately were subjected to " surgery ", because they were chosen to become the leader of an evil cult. With the help of his father, one of them manages to escape, and decides to fight them as well as his so-called destiny.
Kamen Rider Decade is a confusing example: Torin from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Despite being the brother of Chaos , he decided to turn on him and the Deboss Army upon arriving on Earth and seeing the beauty of life. He later became The Mentor to the current team of Kyoryugers, and eventually becomes a Kyoryuger himself by transforming into Kyoryu Silver.
Vlad from Young Dracula is heralded as the Chosen One of vampires, and wants nothing more than to be human, or at least have humans and vampires living side by side. However, his father is Samuel the Haring Aswang , ruler and protector of the aforementioned monster race. While Samuel is a Well-Intentioned Extremist at worst, there is a prophecy that his firstborn child which Samuel eventually learns refers to Juan is the Anak ng Dilim Son of Darkness that would allow the Aswangs to eventually conquer humanity.
The Lovable Antichrist
Juan's Aswang heritage also links him to the true Big Bad of the series, Peru-ha, the Aswangs ' God of Evil , who seeks to use the Anak ng Dilim as her most powerful weapon, whether Juan likes it or not. Ultraman Geed is one such example, being the son of Ultraman Belial , who had wreaked chaos and had tried several times to destroy the Planet of Ultra. Geed, however, is heroic as they come. In some stories Merlin yes, that Merlin was the Antichrist rumor has it he's half demon, anyway.
Instead of destroying the world, he became good and decided to help some guy become the King of Britain instead. This relieved him of his Antichrist status but still let him keep his nifty magical powers. Since Medieval Christianity generally thought any sort of power must come from either God or Satan , this story explained how Merlin performed his magical acts without being a saint.
The Lucifuge faction from Hunter: The Vigil are a group made up of exactly descendants of Satan , who use their innate abilities to fight supernatural monsters. Including and especially relatives who decided to work for Dad.

Ironically given the source of their powers, they actually are one of the most reasonable factions of hunters in a setting where Knight Templar is a norm, precisely because of their demonic powers: Exalted , It's always possible for an Abyssal or Infernal Exalted to defy the will of their respective masters and do the right thing. Unfortunately, this tends to bite them in the ass — Abyssals gain Resonance for adopting mortal trappings, and must bleed it off by adopting the trappings of death e.
Their Charms are not an inherent function of their Exaltation, but rather derive directly from their Yozi masters.
